While these beautiful, iconic baskets are quite pricey, think of them as collector's items. Either the Baker's 14 3/8-inch round Basket ($95) or the 12-inch square Cake Basket with Small Riser ($79) are perfect for pie. Both come in two shades of brown and black. Add a fabric Over-the-Edge Liner and Protector ($32) to keep your basket safe from spills.

If these baskets are way out of your budget, there are other great options made of plastic with tight-fitting lids: The Tupperware Round Container ($21) or the Progressive Collapsible Pie Carrier ($24.95). They don't look anywhere near as attractive but they'll protect your homemade creations quite nicely.
